ABOUT THE LIBLICENSE-L FORUM:

        LIBLICENSE-L is a moderated list for the discussion of issues
related to the licensing of digital information by academic and research
libraries.  Increasingly, libraries are being inundated with information
created in digital format and transmitted and accessed via computers. This
list is designed to assist librarians and others concerned with the
licensing of information in digital format in dealing with some of the
unique challenges faced by this new medium.  Information providers
(creators, publishers and vendors) who deal with libraries are welcomed as
members of liblicense-l.  Potential areas of discussion include:

        * Drafting library and educational license agreements for digital
information content

        * Insuring that license agreements do not inordinately restrict
the use of digital information

        * Reconciling license agreements with the fair use provisions of
the U.S.Copyright Act

        * International agreements relating to the copyright of databases
and other digital information in their relationship to content licenses

        * Modifications of the U.S. Copyright Act as this relates to
digital content licenses

        * Privacy and security issues relating to the use of licensed
digital information via license

        * Interlibrary loans of digital information in the way these
relate to library content licenses.

We welcome your contributions and discussion.
